Literature and Composition 

In Literature and Composition, I wrote an essay analyzing Sundiata: An Epic of Old Mali and explained why Sundiata is a heroic figure. In my essay, I discussed how Sundiata showed bravery, determination, and perseverance throughout his life, especially during his exile and his final battle against the sorcerer king, Soumaoro. I also explained how his strength and determination as a child showed his potential to become a great leader. This assignment helped me practice literary analysis by using examples from the text to support my ideas about heroism.
